David Bahn - Reflections

What does it take to honor God and live fully to his glory? Abram's life gives us some clues. 

A riddle: What is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat it, you'll die? Hint..."Nothing" is greater than God.

There's plenty of blame to go around these days. What a refreshing experience it is when someone takes responsibility for his own actions!

No matter what station we have in life, we will all one day answer to the One True King.

Self-serving fear is so powerful! It can derail our obedient faith. It can thwart our proper place in God's reign and rule. It can short-circuit prayer and an even greater reliance on God.

Drastic times call for drastic actions. But the most drastic action is that of continued faithfulness in the face of temptation and fear. The most drastic action is that of loving God and relying on him in every situation.

The greatest sign of success is seen by God alone. It is the sign of a broken and contrite heart, taking refuge in God's goodness and mercy.

Faith is a personal matter. But the influence of family has a powerful impact on faith's formation and expression. 

Are you missing the blessings and joy of life today in anticipation only of what might come tomorrow? 

Following Jesus means going with him as he is on the move in your heart, family, neighborhood, and world.
